HOW TO STORE FOOD

AND BEVERAGE

FRIDGE COMPARTMENT

Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and

glass containers and cling lm to wrap

foods.

Always use closed containers for liquids and

for food that may give o or be tainted by

odor or avor transfer or cover them.

If you have a little quantity of food to store

in the refrigerator, we recommend to use

the shelves above the crisper for fruits and

vegetables since this is the coolest area of

the compartment.

Foods which give o a large amount

ethylene gas and those that are sensitive to

this gas, such as fruit, vegetables and salad,

should always be separated or wrapped so

as not to reduce the storage life; for

example do not store tomatoes together

with kiwi fruits or cabbage.

To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the

bottle holder (available on selected models).

Do not store food too close together to

enable sucient air circulation.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The freezer is the ideal storage location for

store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze

fresh food in the freezer compartment.

The maximum number of kilograms of fresh

food that can be frozen within a 24-hour

period is indicated on the rating plate (…

kg/24h).

If you have a little quantity of food to store

in the freezer, we recommend to use the

coldest areas of your freezer compartment,

corresponding to the middle area.
